Music video

The music video premiered on September 17, 2015 on Lil Dicky's YouTube account. It was directed by Tony Yacenda and produced by Jim Cummings. The video describes Dicky wanting to make the "best rap video ever" without spending any money. Throughout the video, he goes door-to-door through the mansions of Beverly Hills, asking owners if he can use their homes for a quick fifteen minutes to film it. Mrs. "K" agrees, allowing them to use her home in the video. He asks a Lamborghini dealership to borrow a car, and a boater to borrow a boat owned by Freddie Avila a.k.a. AvilaVIP, as well as models. As the title suggests, he doesn't spend a dime.[2] In fact, he earns $600 because of the product placement he exchanged everything for.[3]

Fetty Wap and Rich Homie Quan also appear performing onstage with Dicky in the video.[2] The video features cameos from T-Pain, Sarah Silverman, Abbi Jacobson, Ilana Glazer, Kevin Durant, Hannibal Buress, Dillon Francis, Mark Cuban, and Tom Petty.
